Re: SOTD 19th November 2012

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Hello everyone!

I'm in Coromandel for a fun day with the hubs, to whom I've been married for two years today! ♥

Y'all have a wonderful day!

((Jon)) - sounds fun! Enjoy your week!

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual...Carl Sagan

^Thanks Jon! But you know, I think I'm pretty lucky, too!

ivanita - love the pictures of Croatia, I had such a wonderful afternoon there years ago...walking around, hearing church bells, eating delicious pastries & marzipan. Lovely vacation memories.
Happy Anniversary to the Evangelines! I cannot even remember when Ray & I celebrated 2 years (back in 1999) but I hope that you and your hubby do something romantic to celebrate your special day!
hedonist - I don't think I've ever seen pheasants (except for on a dinner plate). LOL. They're beautiful.

Hedonist, love the Golden Pheasant pics. They live wild here in small pockets of the UK, and we have been fortunate enough to get a few rare sightings. Always amazes me how such brightly coloured birds can vanish so efficiently at the merest hint of disturbance. Real stunners.

Re: SOTD 19th November 2012

(((Evangeline))), I wish you both the happiest of anniveraries and decades of joy to come. Congratulations! Enjoy your very special day!

In Guerlain Encens Mythique d'Orient and pleasantly surprised. I feel the presence of their classics here; the wonderful Guerlain aldehydes are easily detectable. Not a scent I need personally but I hope this one finds lots of love.
